Investigation 2.3: Lewes to Chincoteague island
A.Would it make sense to connect the points on this graph? Explain.
answer: Yes, it would make sense because it's a change throughout time. The lines connecting dots makes these changes easy-to-see. Also it makes you get an easier estimate on data between time.
B. Make a table of (time, distance) data from the information in the graph.
answer:
Table of day 3 progress (distance from Lewes)

C. What do you think happened between hours 2 and 4? between hours 1.5 and 2?
answer: Between hours 2 and 4 I think they took a road that goes back, then forward. (example below)
Between hours 1.5 and 2, I think they took a road that was circling Lewes. (example below)
Example:
D. Which method of displaying the (time, distance) data helps you see the changes better, a table or a graph? Explain your choice.
answer: As, said above, I think the method of graph would be easier to see data changes. I think it's because with tables, you have to look at all the data while in a graph, you could see the chages onlyby looking at the lines connecting the dots. You also probably won't need a scale if you only watn the basic pattern.

Use the graph to determine the total distance the riders traveled on day 3. Explain how you determined your answer.
answer: I think they traveled about 97 miles. I got this answer by adding up all the intervals. So 1+8x8+6x2+9+2+0x2= 97. (miles)
